Used colors

Colors used within a Workshop application can be defined and saved on the module level using Workshop’s used colors feature. This feature allows builders to set a color palette for an application and easily swap out colors used throughout their module.

Access the Used colors panel by navigating to a module’s Settings tab in edit mode. The panel consists of two main sections: Saved colors and Unsaved colors.

Note that usage of intent colors will not be displayed in the Used colors panel.

Saved colors

Saved colors are defined at the module level. Add colors to the Saved colors section to make them selectable when configuring custom colors in layouts and widgets, including section and page backgrounds. You can rename saved colors, set separate colors for light and dark modes, and view where each color is used across layouts and widgets in your module. When you edit a saved color, the change propagates to all layouts, sections, and widgets that reference it, so you can update colors across your module in one place.

Unsaved colors

Unsaved colors represent custom colors used in layouts and widgets throughout the module not defined as saved colors by the builder. Builders may click to copy the hex code of unsaved colors to be easily used elsewhere, and may also see the usage of these colors in layouts and widgets within the module.
